Notes
Park Species Detail: Synonym: Felis domesticus. The NPS reference states that the recent introduction of alien animal species in American Samoa includies the house cat, which has been observed within the national park, and that it is important to determine the impacts these species are having on the national park's native species (p. 53). The species checklist can be found at http://www.nps.gov/npsa/book/21_mammals.htm., Park Species Data Source: Mammal, Reptile and Amphibian Checklist of American Samoa; NATUREBIB-557586, National Park Service
